Emmy Nominations 2018: Did Your Favorite Show Make The Cut?

"Veep" star Julia Louis-Dreyfus took home her sixth consecutive win for outstanding actress in a comedy in 2017, which placed her firmly in the history books for most Emmys won by a performer for one role.

(CNN) — Nominations for the 70th Primetime Emmy Awards were announced Thursday morning and there are some familiar contenders.

“Game of Thrones” is back and led the nominations with 22 nods, including outstanding drama against last year’s winner, “The Handmaid’s Tale.” “The Americans,” “The Crown,” “Stranger Things,” “This Is Us” and “Westworld” will also compete for top drama.

Elisabeth Moss was nominated for lead actresss in a drama for her work in “The Handmaid’s Tale,” as were “The Crown’s” Claire Foy, Keri Russell in “The Americans,” Sandra Oh in “Killing Eve,” “Westworld’s” Evan Rachel Wood” and “Orphan Black’s” Tatiana Maslany.

“Ozark’s” Jason Bateman, Sterling K. Brown and Milo Ventimiglia from “This Is Us,” Ed Harris and Jeffrey Wright in “Westworld” and Matthew Rhys in “The Americans” are vying for best actor in a drama series.

Glover was also nominated for outstanding lead actor in a comedy, along with Anthony Anderson for “Black-ish,” Ted Danson for “The Good Place,” Larry David for “Curb Your Enthusiasm,” Bill Hader for “Barry” and William H. Macy for “Shameless.”

The contenders for outstanding lead actress in a comedy are Pamela Adlon for “Better Things,” Rachel Brosnahan for “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel,” Allison Janney for “Mom,” Issa Rae for “Insecure,” Tracee Ellis Ross for “Black-ish” and Lily Tomlin for “Grace and Frankie.”

The nods for Glover, Anderson, Brown, Wright, Rae, Ross and Oh — who made history as the first woman of Asian descent to be nominated as lead actress in a drama — factored into a quarter of the nominees in acting categories being people of color.
